WHAT’S GOOD DIVISION 62?
!
Is it already February?! Wow, time really does fly really fast. We only have one more month left until DCON, where I officially retire and Alissa gets elected. I have no doubts that Alissa will help our Division grow tremendously. If you haven’t already, please go add her on Facebook! Once again, congratulations Alissa! Proud of you girl! Speaking of DCON, all DCON attendees are required to go to the February DCM and ALL the DCON preps. In addition, it is highly encouraged that all attendees buy a divisional shirt and a spirit gear pack. If you cannot make it to the DCON preps or DCM, please contact me asap!

Message from the… Divisional Executive Assistant Michelle Yan

Hey Division 62!
!
I hope you all had a lovely January despite the stress from finals. However, it is time to relax, as the month is filled with upcoming events such as Lunar New Year and Valentine's day - which also means more events and opportunities to serve the community!
!
As elections are coming up, I just want to congratulate the newly elected officers that we have so far, and of course, our incoming LTG, Alissa Ouanesisouk! I have no doubt you will leave a great legacy for Division 62.
!
Anyway, I hope you all make the rest of your February fun and eventful! And, if you haven't already, mark your calendars for DCON 2016!

INTRODUCING
ALISSA OUANESISOUK LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 06.
FOR THE YEAR 2016-2017
Message From Your
Lieutenant Governor Elected ALISSA OUANESISOUK
Waddup Waddup Key Clubbers!
! I still can’t believe it and I am beyond thankful to be elected as your next Lieutenant Governor! For all of you who don’t know, I am Alissa Ouanesisouk (OHWON-SEE-SOOK) from Roosevelt High School. I came upon Key Club my freshman year when my brother, the founder of Key Club at RHS, had pizza at his first meeting. And you know I had to go because it was free food! All because of that, I have been the secretary (freshman year) and a two termed president (currently). I’ve grown attached to the spirit, the service, and family vibe. Other than Key Club, I’m involved with volleyball, student government, and musical theatres! Since I was little girl I’ve loved to sing and dance so… SING ALONG WITH ME! I also, find myself to be a very loud and down to earth person. So whenever you need me, just holla! I love meeting new people – talking and eating is my way to go. I am food lover so food always tends to find a way to warm my heart. We are one big family, so don’t be afraid to message me anytime because I got cho back in any situation FAM. (:
